Free PDF Metadata Remover
Create a cleaned copy of a PDF with supported descriptive metadata fields removed. PDF metadata can contain information such as document title, author, subject, creator or producer. Clearing these fields can be useful before sharing a document publicly or sending it outside your normal workflow.
How to remove PDF metadata
- Select the PDF document.
- Click Remove Metadata.
- Allow the tool to create a cleaned copy.
- Download the new PDF and keep the original if needed.
What metadata can a PDF contain?
Depending on how a document was created, common PDF properties may include a title, author name, subject, keywords, creator application and producer information. Not every PDF contains all of these fields.
Why remove document metadata?
Removing descriptive metadata can reduce unnecessary document information before publication, transfer or archiving. It is especially useful when a file was created from a template or application that automatically inserted author or software details.
Your original PDF is preserved
The tool creates a separate output file, allowing you to retain the source PDF. Metadata removal should not be treated as a guarantee that every possible hidden element or sensitive detail has been removed from a document.
